Mom's Marinara Wine Brisket

"My mother showed me how to make this easy recipe a few years ago and it is my husband's favorite so far. It goes well with white rice. UPDATE! Cindytc's review was for 4 lbs. brisket and for that amount ot meat, you could use 1 Onion soup packet, 1 jar of marinara and 1 cup of red wine. I have now altered the recipe, since her review, to 8 lbs. of meat (I sometimes use 4 smaller briskets). I like it with sauce. You can also make this in the crockpot on low heat for about 6 hours or until tender when checked with a fork. Enjoy!"

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the brisket in a Dutch oven or covered roasting pan. (My Mom likes to pan sear the meat to "lock in the juices" but I can't tell the difference and don't usually do it).
  • Sprinkle meat with the salt, garlic and onion packet all over.
  • Now add the marina sauce and wine.
  • Turn meat a few times to coat.
  • Cook 3 hours, turning meat after 1 1/2 hours.
  • The meat will be done when it is tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Remove brisket to a cutting board and let cool a bit for easier cutting.
  • Cut meat on the diagonal of the grain.
  • Return meat to sauce and serve.
  • It is also great the next day and it freezes well.

  1. I have made beef brisket many different ways...but this is the best by far...turned out great, but I do think you can cut the sauce ingredients in half and it still would turn out great...this will be the only way I make fresh beef brisket from now on...thanks
     
  2. This was really good, tender and juicy - the family whole family enjoyed it. I decided to skip the salt - there's enough in packaged onion soup mix, IMO.<br/><br/>We also halved the recipe, but had only a 3# brisket, so there was plenty of sauce left. Definitely a keeper!
     
  3. great-tast.ing, and juicy
     
  4. Delicious tender, juicy brisket. I halved the recipe with great success. I used recipe #110331 for the onion soup mix, and seared the meat first like your Mom does. So easy to make and tasty. Served it with potato pancakes. Think this recipe would be good with beef ribs too. Will definitely make it again. Thanks for posting.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
